Infos zum Spiel

LOW VALUE JOB is a dystopian job simulation game.
A single, mind-numbingly simple task awaits you: sorting scattered parts on a desk by type.
Bolts of various lengths. Nuts. Washers.
Your job is to pick them up one by one, examine them carefully, and place them in the correct category.

This game offers nothing but atmosphere and labor. There is no story.
Would you like to experience the emptiness of endless part-sorting in a dimly lit future?

Features

• Mindful Immersion: A simple parts-sorting action that lets you tune out the world.

• Ghost Presence: In single-player mode, share your progress to feel the faint presence of other workers.

• Competitive Sorting: Online multiplayer for up to 8 players. Compete for speed and precision.

• Subtle Interaction: Send "Deep Breaths" or "Throat Clearing" voice lines to your opponents.

• Office Evolution: Watch your workspace transform as you progress.

• Co-op Mode: Co-op mode for up to 64 players (Early Access)

The True Ending

The world we offer is an escape from the complex, grueling decisions of reality; a quiet space for those who find peace in quiet, monotonous work. At first, players focus intensely on identifying the parts. As they habituate, their minds begin to wander, creating space for various reflections.

If you find yourself thinking, "I want to do something else," then that is your cue to stop. To quit the game and start something else is the True Ending. Regardless of the number of parts sorted, that person has reached the conclusion.

Who Is This Game For?

The design of this game—requiring players to perform endless, repetitive tasks—is certainly not for everyone. However, I truly believe that the unique atmosphere and the sensations it evokes will resonate deeply with a certain audience.

I highly recommend this game to those who find peace in solitary, monotonous work, as well as those looking for a simple, casual competition to enjoy with friends.

Disclaimer About the Nature of the Game

LOW VALUE JOB is a work of fiction.

Its portrayal of parts sorting as a “low-value” or “meaningless” job is strictly a narrative device within the game’s dystopian setting. We do not intend to diminish or devalue the real-world work performed by professionals involved in parts sorting or related tasks.

The developer has previously worked in parts-sorting roles in a professional capacity and acknowledges that such work is both necessary and meaningful in real-world contexts.

Part sorting is often an undervalued line of work, and I truly hope that affordable tools to support it will become more widely available.

About Gifting

We don’t particularly recommend gifting this game to friends.

As the developer, we’re of course grateful for the gesture.
However, it may unintentionally take away one of the few remaining choices left to the people in this world: the choice to begin on their own, and the choice to stop on their own.

If you don’t mind, we would truly appreciate it if you could simply and quietly recommend the store page instead.
